A Milwaukee news crew reporting on a fatal shooting on the south side of the city captured dramatic video Sunday night of a stolen sedan slamming into a parked minivan and then the car's driver running away.
NBC News affiliate WTMJ-TV caught the footage of the hit-and-run crash. In the video, a sedan swerves away from an oncoming vehicle and slams head-on into the van.
Footage then shows both the driver and passenger exit the sedan almost simultaneously. While the driver manages to run away â and appears to attempt to cover his face with his hooded sweatshirt â the injured passenger rolls out of the car and lays on the ground.
The crash involved a âfresh stolen autoâ and occurred about 7 p.m. at the intersection of S. 14th Street and W. Halsey Avenue, Milwaukee police said in a statement.
The impact of the collision caused the minivan to strike an unoccupied and unmarked police vehicle, police said.
A 57-year-old in the van was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. The passenger in the stolen car, a 16-year-old boy, was also hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said, adding that the teen was arrested and criminal charges will be referred to the county district attorneyâs office.
